Killington Becomes Hub For Emergency Supplies

(Host)
About half of the residents in the town of Killington are still without power and water.

Food,
water and other supplies were provided to residents last night. The town is not
cut off from the rest of the state, as some other communities are.

Because
the town is accessible, Killington is serving as a hub for the 3,500
people in it and the surrounding towns.

Susie
Dundas is with the town of Killington.
She says a lot of supplies are being funneled through the town to other
communities.

(Dundas) "I think everyone was
surprised by the extent of the damage, nobody expected the roads to wash away,
but everyone is in pretty good spirits. Since we had this coordinated volunteer
effort, we've had a pretty solid effort at getting information out to everyone.
I think the biggest concern people had was not knowing what was going, and
we're working to remedy that as fast as we can."

FEMA will be on the ground in the Killington area to assess damage to homes. At
this hour, Route 4 from Killington to Rutland is available for Emergency vehicles only.
